In this eye-opening episode of Rising Anxieties, Mariann Sullivan dives into alarming developments that should have everyone’s anxiety levels soaring. From the CDC’s confirmation that the bird flu virus infecting a Michigan dairy worker is capable of airborne transmission, to the meat industry’s coordinated efforts to combat what they call “anti-meat activism” through manipulative messaging, to how industrial farming operations are contaminating our lettuce with E. coli. Plus, we explore the devastating psychological impact on slaughterhouse workers and a forthcoming documentary that may change how we view the human cost of animal agriculture.

This episode explores:

  • How the bird flu virus has evolved to transmit through air, significantly increasing pandemic concerns
  • The meat industry’s strategic campaign to convince consumers that animal products are “essential” despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary
  • Why your supposedly healthy lettuce might be contaminated with E. coli from nearby factory farms
  • The industry’s attempt to frame animal rights activism as a “national security concern”
  • The overlooked epidemic of PTSD and “perpetration-induced traumatic stress” among slaughterhouse workers
